The user-friendly talking songbook features full-color illustrations of selected Mother Goose rhymes that are sung and accompanied by music. The book facilitates self-paced learning (and repeats of favorite stanzas), thanks to a stylus that kids can use to stop and start each musical passage.

I am a professional musician, and most educational music toys were very limited. When I got this book I was pleasantly surprized to find that it not only teaches song melodies, but as they grow it teachs note names, values and pitch. This is a wonderful addition to your Leap Pad Library!

Hope this Helps!!

This review is from: LeapPad: Leap 1 Music - "Mother Goose Songbook" Interactive Book and Cartridge (Toy)

My 2 1/2 year old got the leap pad for Christmas. In an effort to find books that were more his level I picked this one up for him.

This is a great book for the leap pad. In fact it is one of the best ones we have seen so far. (We haven't used very many though.)

The songs are classics. The instruments you can play the song with change from page to page, so you might have an accordian on one page and a violin on the next. The idea that you can learn the song line by line is neat as well as clicking on the individual words to learn each word. My son has enjoyed clicking on the seperate notes to play his own music.

This is a fun book. Enjoy!

This review is from: LeapPad: Leap 1 Music - "Mother Goose Songbook" Interactive Book and Cartridge (Toy)

This is a fun Leap Pad book - it has 14 songs/rhymes and allows the child to learn lyrics (either line by line or word by word), 3 different instrument sounds and the musical note names themselves. The only concerns I have are 1) that the pages of the book are relatively thin and rip somewhat easily and 2) this particular book's icons at the bottom of each page are confusing. They are designed to look very cute with swirling ribbons around them, but it's hard for my daughter to clearly understand what each one does. It also doesn't start playing a song when the child clicks the GO circle - they have to click on an instrument, and then the singer, to hear it sung. This is different from the other LEAP books, as they all start reading the page to the child as soon as GO is clicked. I don't think it's a reason NOT to get it; I just wish they had made it consistent with the other LEAP Level 1 books.
